Hahndorf Hill Winery Chardonnay 2008

NOTES

Hahndorf Hill Winery is a micro-boutique producer specialising in Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz, as well as a unique Rose and all wines are specifically crafted to provide a sensational experience with food.

Located outside historic Hahndorf village in the lush Adelaide Hills of South Australia the vineyard prides itself in maintaining a fresh vibrancy to the wines is due to their environmentally friendly way and of keeping their yields low to ensure pure, concentrated flavours. Their vines are rooted in a loamy mix of slate and ironstone benefiting from meticulous canopy management and yield control regimen.  All the grapes are handpicked, plus irrigated as little as possible, to ensure that those carefully nurtured flavours remain locked into the berry before processing and producing the award winning Hahndorf Hill wines rated 5 stars in the 2009 James Halliday Wine Companion.

TASTING NOTES

A seductive nose of sun-dried apples, citrus and butterscotch flows through to the palate and is rounded off by a long, sexy citrus tail! The grapes were barrel fermented in French oak and then matured on the lees for nine months before bottling. This fine wine was bottle-aged in our cool underground wine cellars for a further year. Delicious with Cajun grilled calamari or pan-fried quail with ginger, garlic and soy marinade. Elegant Adelaide Hills Chardonnay at its best.
